Simple Genius

LoveReading Says

I have a lot of time for this author who is now really concentrating on his career and going to produce at least two (on occasions three) novels a year to establish his reputation.  This stars Sean King and Michelle Maxwell, of Split Second and Hour Game, investigating a secret research centre and a secret training base, all very mysterious.  Complex, action-packed, full of issues, illegal activities and masses of plot, this is terrific.

Comparison: John Grisham, Denis Lehane, Michael Connolly.

The King & Maxwell Series:
1. Split Second
2. Hour Game
3. Simple Genius
4. First Family
